On May 5, 2022, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs are in full swing, and some teams that have long since lost any game tasks are also actively preparing for next season's games. The Western Weak Brigade Kings have also begun their own coach selection work long ago, and their selection process has made the latest progress!
According to SAM Amick, sources have revealed that the Kings' new manager has been narrowed down to Mark Jackson, Clifford and Mike Brown. And it's reported that Clifford's second round of interviews has already begun, and Mark Jackson and Mike Brown will also be interviewed later!
The Kings, who have only finished 30-52 in the regular season this season, are twelfth in the West, haven't had a chance to make the playoffs in a row, and have always been the weakest teams in the West. Although sometimes it can show a certain degree of competitiveness, it has always been difficult to continue. And this time the goal of the Kings coach is to develop good defensive habits for the team, these three head coaches are mainly defensive coaches, so it is still more suitable for the Kings!
In fact, next season's Kings lineup is really still worth looking forward to, the team has two cores inside and outside, Fox and Sabonis Jr. are the players that the team relies on, Fox averaged 23.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game last season, which has grown into a good backcourt core, and Sabonis Jr. also showed a core role after coming to the team, averaging 18.9 points, 12.3 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game! Coupled with Mitchell, Holmes, Barnes, Di Vincenzo and other players, the team's lineup is actually quite good!
If the team can choose a good head coach, then the future of the team is still very worth looking forward to, and even have the opportunity to compete for a play-off qualification next season, or even a playoff spot!
